Encounters on Contested Lands

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Encounters on Contested Lands by Julie Burelle, published by Northwestern University Press in 2018. This compelling paperback, spanning 224 pages, employs a performance studies lens to explore the powerful instances of Indigenous self-representation in Québec. Burelle skillfully challenges the national and identity narratives of the French Québécois de souche—those French-speaking descendants of white European settlers who now view themselves as colonized rather than colonizers. This book is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of identity, colonialism, and cultural representation. Engage with Burelle's insightful analysis and broaden your understanding of these contested lands.
